Class HistoryHTML5 - extends HistoryBase

Provides browser history management using the HTML5 history API.

When calling the add(), addValue(), replace(), or replaceValue() methods on HistoryHTML5, the following additional options are supported:

title (String)
Title to use for the new history entry. Browsers will typically display this title to the user in the detailed history window or in a dropdown menu attached to the back/forward buttons. If not specified, the title of the current document will be used.
url (String)
URL to display to the user for the new history entry. This URL will be visible in the browser's address bar and will be the bookmarked URL if the user bookmarks the page. It may be a relative path ("foo/bar"), an absolute path ("/foo/bar"), or a full URL ("http://example.com/foo/bar"). If you specify a full URL, the origin must be the same as the origin of the current page, or an error will occur. If no URL is specified, the current URL will not be changed.

Constructor

HistoryHTML5 ( config )
Parameters:
config <Object> (optional) Configuration object. The following HistoryHTML5-specific properties are supported in addition to those supported by HistoryBase:
enableSessionFallback (Boolean)

Set this to true to store the most recent history state in sessionStorage in order to seamlessly restore the previous state (if any) when HistoryHTML5 is instantiated after a window.onpopstate event has already fired.

By default, this setting is false.
